AutoSock Snow Sock Tire Grip Traction Device

Anyone who lives in an area where winters see heavy snowfall can tell you that there's nothing more inconvenient than getting stuck on snowy roads. Luckily, snow grips for tires are one of the best and most cost-effective ways to make sure you get where you need to be, no matter the weather. Iowa 80 carries the premiere snow grip sock on the market, the Autosock. Designed to be equipped quickly and easily by just one person, fine fibers on the sock improve traction by getting rid of the film of water that can form between your tires and the surface of the road. No more bulky chains taking up space in your trunk or cabin, and no more finagling with fasteners "” just slide the reusable, washable Autosock onto your tires and go!

It's important to make sure your Autosock fits your tires snugly. Luckily, with over 70 sizes in stock at Iowa 80, you're almost guaranteed to find the Autosock size you're looking for. Are you driving a front-wheel drive sedan and need just that little bit of extra grip? Iowa 80 has the right size of Autosock. Are you driving a 4-wheel drive pickup and need to get a heavy load up a snowy hill? We have the right size of Autosock for that, too. We even have the right size of Autosock if you're driving a two-door electric or hybrid smart car.

NOTE: AutoSocks are not returnable.

How to Install Tire Socks:

1. Park the  vehicle and engage the handbrake.  The vehicle should not be on a slope during fitting.

2.  AutoSock should then be fitted to the  wheels, over the tires.  Use the accompanying gloves, and begin mounting from the top of the tire and stretch downwards.

3. Stretch the elastic band over the top of the tire, so that the band is on the inner side of the tire.  Then pull the crossing strap in order to adjust the AutoSock into correct position; as far down as possible until the front panel becomes centered.

4.  Once in the proper position, with only the lower part not over the tire, move the vehicle approximately  3ft. forward or backward  and pull the remainder of the AutoSock  into position.  The AutoSock will automatically self-center when you start driving.
